Abstract

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence in every sector and the anxiety created by technological change affect university students' job prospects and future career determination. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether career decidedness has a moderating role in the effect of artificial intelligence anxiety on university students' job hopes. The study sample consists of 389 students (264 female, 125 male) selected by convenience sampling method from a foundation university in Istanbul. The ages of the participants are between 18-34+. The questionnaire comprises four sections: demographic information, artificial intelligence anxiety, employment hope, and career decidedness. The questionnaire, which is a quantitative research method, consists of 5-point Likert statements. A total of 36 statements were included for three variables. The data analysis was tested using Spearman correlation analysis and quantile regression analysis. Spearman correlation analysis revealed weak and very weak relationships between the scales. As a result of quantile regression analysis, it was determined that career determination did not have a moderating role in the effect of artificial intelligence anxiety on employment hope.
